DR. MURRAY FEINGOLD: Unusual topics of medical literature -- For example, if there is an unoccupied seat next to them, people will go to great lengths to make certain it remains empty so no one sits next to them. They utilized various methods to accomplish this, such as "pretending to be busy, checking phones, rummaging through bags, looking past people or falling asleep" (that one sounds somewhat like me). MetroWest Daily News (Mass.)

PHYSICIAN FOCUS: Youth and substance abuse -- Motor vehicle crashes, unintentional injuries, homicides and suicides account for more than 70 percent of all teenage deaths, and all of them are strongly linked to one thing: substance abuse. Substance abuse by adolescents is a persistent and growing problem, one that often ends in tragedy. Consider these numbers. Dr. John Knight/ MetroWest Daily News (Mass.)

THE REV. CAL LORD: Living a godly life is like riding a bike -- I thought about that this morning as I got on my youngest daughter’s brand-new bicycle. She is a freshman at Iowa State University. We bought this bike for her to have on campus and kept it at the hotel last night. Being the good dad, I volunteered to make the five-mile ride to campus this morning. The Bulletin (Conn.)

PETER CHIANCA: Where are the candidates on asteroid issues? -- Personally, getting hit by a giant space asteroid is currently my own top concern, even more so than my concerns over a zombie apocalypse. This is because while the latter is definitely unpleasant, it’s never happened before, whereas it seems there was a time when earth was being pelted practically nonstop by space asteroids, like some giant, unfortunate pinball bumper.

101 IDEAS: Simplicity warms the cottage kitchen -- "Cottage style" implies light and airy, charming and casual. It is no longer relegated only to summer homes, but chosen for year-round decorating. Cottages evoke vacations at the beach or cabins tucked in the woods. The mood is relaxed. Scripps Howard News Service

BUTTONED UP: The secret to having a more productive week -- If you're looking for a quick fix to your productivity woes, the answer may lie in something as simple as a pen and pad. Writing down a plan for the week ahead is an effective way to help you to turn down the noise and stress that tend to accompany a full life.

HOMEFIX: This contractor's terms are not acceptable -- Q: I hired a general contractor to oversee a home renovation to my property, a 988-square-foot two-story farmhouse. The contractor charges me 20 percent plus an hourly rate when he is on the site. He does not inspect the work his subs do because he says they are professionals and don't need to be watched.

REALITY SHOWS/ UPDATES: K.D. Smith: Circles, cycles and circuses -- tuning in to tune out -- A bright spot in recent weeks was the “Dancing With The Stars” cast pairings for our upcoming all-star season. An avid ‘N Sync fan (even a decade since their last album), I’m Team Joey/Kym all the way this year. Though it will also be a treat to watch Kirstie return with Maks and “The Bachelor’s” Melissa back at it with Tony. K.D. Smith/ Wicked Local Plymouth (Mass.)

GEORGE LITTLE: A deer's nose knows -- It’s been estimated that a deer’s sense of smell is 100 times greater than ours and nearly 1 1/3 times as sensitive as a dog’s. Tests indicate that deer can pick up human scent 10 days after someone has been in the area. Even the unseemly odors in the deer-cabin loft don’t hang around with the windows open.
